No. You’re confusing yourself, equating the return of favors with political corruption.
All you need in order to tell the difference is common sense.
Ah no, I’m not confused at all about this...it doesn’t necessarily need to involve political corruption (I never said it did), but in many cases it can. It just isn’t a characteristic I particularly admire in leaders.
I have plenty of common sense; and my standards are different from yours.
